I don’t even have the motivation anymore after so many skunks. No more hours put in for me! When I know where the fish are I’ll go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishing-Addict Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Got to my usual place on the east river and did very well I got a couple of 24+ inch plus striped bass. Been using inline circle hooks and I did not have a single gut hook. That is all for me no more J hooks or offset circles I am an Inline for life now. JillJillu and Bait Tailer 2 I could not come up with anything so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more hours put in for me! When I know where the fish are I’ll go! That's not how it goes, especially since you are relatively new. Rod in hand, boot on the Ground, miles on the truck. Don't stay in one place, keep on trucking, soon or later, it will click. Be the guy that was there yesterday, but no body know about it. Bring at the right to time at the right place, that's what matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldadonis2002 Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 My curse is that I nabbed my first striper on my first 2020 trip... instantly assumed I was pimp daddy sharpie. Last 3 outings have been humbled by the fish gods. Karma is for real people I'm most comfortable roaming the beaches at night out in front, but my gut is telling me they are not in front yet (my logs tell me the same ).

Went 3/4 my first 3 trips. Nabbed my PB on trip #2. Thought it just be like that lol. I’ve struck out 8 or 9 times now in a row.

Had 1 clam soaker rod and 1 plugola rod ... not a nibble on either and I didn't stay put either. 8am at high Gannets working hard on other side for a good hour, saw 2 sharpies walk through tick central however I did not see them hook up. Think I am about done with GIB, its overrated Add a skunk notch to the belt. you ever walk a little east of there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banginaround Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Been out 4 times to the ER in the past two weeks. Only skunked once. Pulled a 24”+ out one day, otherwise catching a lot of schoolies in a range of sizes. Caught 4 over the course of two hours yesterday. I’ve been throwing jigs and having a blast.

Lewbag29 Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 Out last two nights with a few schoolies to show for it. Bone sp minnow was the ticket once the bunker showed up. Had a more consistent bite in April and have nothing to show but 20-24" fish for the last week or two. Excited for the bigger fish to move in on the NS but don't know when that will be or for how long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
